| The Revelstoke area
boasts many attractions to suit almost any taste. We have everything
from outdoor adventure to heritage attractions. Here are some of the
highlights... |
 |
 |
Historic
downtown Revelstoke has a wide range of shops and restaurants for your
enjoyment.
There is free nightly
entertainment in Grizzly Plaza every night during July & August, as
well as many festivals and farmers markets throughout the season. |
| The
Revelstoke Railway Museum is one of the best of its type in the world.
Other museums in Revelstoke include the Revelstoke Museum, the Fire Hall
Museum and the BC Interior Logging Museum.
A free heritage tour
map is available to see some of our historic homes and buildings. |

BC Hydro's Revelstoke
Dam, one of North America's largest and most modern hydro-electric
developments, is located only a few minutes drive north of Revelstoke.
The dam offers free self-guided
tours, featuring individual talking wands. This multi-level
visitor centre includes a large exhibit area and a theatre. |
| One of Revelstoke's
best kept secrets is our 18 hole, riverside golf course. With the
majestic Monashee and Selkirk Mountains as a backdrop, the Revelstoke
Golf Club was established in 1924 and it has been described as "a
gem of a course".
The par 72, 6513 yard layout along
the Columbia River affords incredible mountain views in all directions. |
 |
 |
With many area
mountains topping 10,000 ft, you have the opportunity to climb on
glaciers and high alpine meadows, either by hiking up marked trails, or
taking a ride in a helicopter to some very remote & untouched
wilderness areas. |
| Revelstoke is very
fortunate to be the home of two spectacular National Parks - Mount
Revelstoke National Park and Glacier National Park.
Come and explore the natural beauty
that these mountainous parks offer. |

 |
You can discover the
fascinating story of the Rogers Pass National Historic Site on "Abandoned
Rails Trail", "Loop Brook Trail",
and at "Glacier House", the ruins
of one of Canadian Pacific's great hotels of the past.
Located at the summit of the pass,
the Rogers Pass Centre includes a theatre, a hall of railway models and
natural history exhibits. The Rogers Pass Centre is a definite
stop and is open year round. |
